In vscode, I have a python linter setup which helps me identify if there are any errors in my code, by underlining the error prone section with red swiggly lines. I can see the error message, if I hover over that section. Is there a keyboard shortcut which can show the error message, without actually requiring me to hover.

Attaching a screenshot for reference.

The command is called "Show Hover" (editor.action.showHover).

By default is bound to CtrlK CtrlI. (Last character here is upper case letter "i", if even code renders illegible sans-serif.)

(Or you can find it in and invoke it from the Command Palette.)

I too wasn't able to find it at first, because "hover" was not therm I'd search for. 'Mouse', 'cursor', 'tooltip', 'hint', 'info', 'bubble' or 'popup' were.

  • thanks for sharing the command, but seems like it doesn't work very well [vim extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevim.vim) – monte Nov 30 '22 at 14:49
  • There is some discussion about Vim extension/mode in the linked question. – myf Nov 30 '22 at 14:53
  • ignore the comment, it is working fine, I was trying with wrong pattern. – monte Nov 30 '22 at 14:54

You can also use the Error Lens extension to display error messages at the end of each line with an error.
